Social justice Ranger. Technical writer. Goth. Synner. Spider mom. Sith but mostly for the fashion. Still masking (P100) on Goshute, Shoshone, Paiute, and Ute land. ey/she. Primary issues: pandemics, health justice, climate justice. Still learning.
- If you’re not cautious enough, you never know until it’s too late. If you’re too cautious, you’ll never know at all, but people sure will ridicule you for it. #pandemics #fascism #etc
- First Mother’s Day without my mother. I miss her wise council but that had faded before she died. I miss the long, rambling phone calls. We didn’t talk often but we’d talk for 2-3 hours (as long as it was on my dime!).
- Alas, Pope Pizzaballa, we hardly knew ye.
- Endoscopy Waiting Room Still Life
- Utah Mammoth? Argh. Once again, the most perfect Utah team mascot is passed by. When will we get a Utahraptors sports team? #utah #saltlakecity Utahraptor by DeviantArt user PrehistoryByLiam.
- I love a man in lipstick and fishnets.
- Also, follow NE Ohio Regional Sewer District for gems like this!
- I love dancing, spiders, nighttime, liminal space, lily, rose, & citrus blossom scents, dogs, bats, the 3am crackle of radios, playa dust, wind, Darth Vader, black & green, sweet milky tea, swamps, mist on the Cane River, eyeliner, fungi, velvet, dew, my spouse, poetry, shortbread, & Oxford commas.
- A great resource!
- This this THIS.
- Every protest and march I attend is a crowd of passionate people declaring their opposition to fascism and allegiance to immigrants, workers, the LGBTQ+ community… yet barely anyone is ever wearing a N95 or better respirator. Y’all. Eugenics is evil. People with disabilities matter, too. WTF?
- I assume the government is going to buy Signal soon.
- My brain has produced a mashup of “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons and “Radioactive” by The Firm with a sprinkling of “Radio-Activity” by Kraftwerk. On repeat. For hours.
- Purcell’s Funeral March for Queen Mary (which you may know as the title music from Clockwork Orange; that’s certainly where I met it) is the single most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard. youtu.be/hIG-pWjwwxw?...
- …then they came for the *judges*.
- I am going to start posting my photos of #spiders and #insects. I will use these tags (plus #spinnerettephotos) for these posts. Please adjust your blocked words as needed so I don’t squick you out. This is your 24-hour warning! 🕷️🕸️🐞🐛

- I contacted Starbucks to note that face masks are important and urge them to reconsider forbidding masks for employees. Here’s their utterly worthless reply. #starbucks #maskssavelives #thepandemacene
- I’m turning 55 this summer and I desperately want to finally form that punk band with my girlfriends and play one terrible show. Please note that I have zero musical talent (despite decades as a DJ in radio and clubs) but when has that ever stopped a punk band?
- A groundbreaking microscope at Harvard Medical School could lead to breakthroughs in cancer detection and research into longevity. But the scientist who developed computer scripts to read its images and unlock its full potential has been in an immigration detention center for two months
- I have no words…
- Yay for a trans actor playing Aes Sedai! That potentially answers an important question, if the character is also trans. #wot #wotskies #wheeloftime

- What do I say to trans loved ones today? They feel unwanted, unwelcome, like targets. I can’t tell them it’ll be ok. I don’t know if it will be ok. My heart is breaking, over and over.
- It looks like the black mold controlling JKR and RFK,jr’s brain worm are locked in brinkmanship to bring about the world’s future downfall. Fuck ‘em both. Sideways.
- The world is burning but Kraftwerk is playing in my city, so there’s that. I pulled out my early 2000s handmade cyber gauze pieces and my spiked PAPR mask.
- The deportations will continue until morale improves, I guess.
- It’s the little things!
- I saw her at the Utah State Capitol and had to take her photo (with her permission). She had a photographer and I’d love to see the professional photos!
- My spouse and dogs with the Salt Lake City Capitol cherry blossoms.
- My favorite Wheel of Time podcast! #wheeloftime #wot
- Such bullshit. I’ve seen nothing of the sort but frankly, I believe we need black bloc bc I believe in Diversity of Tactics. Cops? Check the shoes. I’m a COVID-cautious goth. You better bet I’m protesting (lawfully & non-violently but not, like, politely) in all black while wearing a mask.
- Part of me is glad I stocked up on several years’ worth of Penzey’s Double Vanilla Extract when it was on sale last month, while another part of me wonders if buying vanilla was a good use of money. I’ve wondered similarly about everything I’ve purchased since November.
- This reminds me of something from the 1980s. I don’t know why! Maybe it’s just that the art looks like something I’d have seen in Cricket magazine. But the beautiful sentiment and gorgeous (and witty) art are worth a peruse. Spoiler for the anxious: Bridget came home.
